Title: Ridiculous Timescale Given
Post by: westwoap on 25 September 2013, 15:34
So I have just contact my dealer and they have confirmed my GTD (standard Spec) should be ready by 1st Week in March. I ordered the car August 21st. This is getting silly

Wow, 26 weeks, and I thought mine was particularly bad at 21 weeks from order to collection !

December!, I wish. Im guessing I will get a courtesy car after 20 weeks but they are also looking at cars available at dealerships too. Doubt there will be any

Dealer just got back to me and said I can have  Deep Pearl Black at my door by 15th November if im happy to have that colour instead of the TR. Ive said yes as looking at KyleB's car it looks amazing.

I found that the dealer can get you pretty much any GTD within weeks, it just depends if you want to take what's offered.

23 weeks for mine, my dad got his in 12 (the first UK GTD on this website I believe - handed over 1st July), despite ordering almost a week after me at the same dealership. DBP is great, but it's a high maintenance colour if you want to keep it looking its best.

I second what MH said. DPB looks good if kept clean. I have one and it's amazing when clean the winter is long and harsh and my one needs a good clean now.

Cheers mate!

I did pretty much the same, was going to wait for a TR but they offered me the DBP here and now and took it. Its a pain to keep clean but it looks pretty darn good in my eyes.

My GTD Estate took 11 weeks, 3 days for qtechnic detail and 4 days waiting for Motability.  As I ordered on 31 July, this time also includes VW'S factory fortnight

Spec is std except for part assist & rear camera

To load pics you have use a hosting sight like photobucket, if you click on the link in my sig it shows you how to do it. It's a bit of a faf but once you've got the hang of it it's easy peasy.
